問題詳情

第二篇：Scientists have discovered dozens of genetic variations that decide how tall we are, which can help us understand whyhumans are so different from one another. The discovery could also lead to new treatments for growth disorders as well asmany other conditions 36 heart disease, cancer and diabetes. Professor Guillaume Lettre, of Montreal University inCanada, said: “Of these 83 genetic variations, some influence adult height 37 more than two centimeters, which isenormous.”Height is mostly determined in our DNA—children from tall parents tend to grow up to be taller, and 38 fromshort parents are shorter. But growth from a small baby into an adult, and the role of genetics, is one of the most poorlyunderstood areas of human biology. According to Professor Lettre, the identified genes will be helpful in 39 aperson’s risk of developing certain growth disorders. There is also the hope that scientists may 40 be able to use thisknowledge to develop a new medicine for growth disorders.
